Image
Design and color are not distinct and separate. As one paints, one draws. The more the colors harmonize, the more the design takes form. When color is at it's richest, form is at its fullest.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am progressing very slowly, for nature reveals herself to me in very complex forms and the progress needed is incessant.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Painting, like any art, comprises a technique, a workmanlike handling of material, but the accuracy of a tone and the fictitious combination of effects depend entirely on the choice made by the artist.
Paul Cezanne
Image
If I think, I am lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Right now a moment of time is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate...Give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.
Paul Cezanne
Image
One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Fruits ... like having their portrait painted. They seem to sit there and ask your forgiveness for fading. Their thought is given off with their perfumes. They come with all their scents, they speak of the fields they have left, the rain which has nourished them, the daybreaks they have seen.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
Paul Cezanne
Image
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.
Paul Cezanne
Image
All my compatriots are asses compared to me.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The approbation of others is a stimulus of which one must sometimes be wary. The feeling of one's own strength makes one modest.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Sometimes I imagine colors as if they were living ideas, being of pure reason with which to communicate. Nature is not on the surface, it is deep down.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The landscape becomes human, becomes a thinking, living being within me. I become one with my picture...we merge in an iridescent chaos.
Paul Cezanne
